Brick-carrier.



outwardly to a vertical osition, whereupon the jaws may be lace over theopposite ends of the row o bricks so that when the linger has beendisengaged from the ring 9 and the handle lifted upwardly, the jaws willbe moved inwardly and clam ed against the row of bricks and held in camped engagement therewith through the medium of the weight of thebricks supported within the carrler.

When it is desired to release the bricks from the carrier, it is simplynecessary to grasp the linger ring and move the handle inwardly towardthe finger ring to release the clamping jaws from the row of bricks.This may b e accomplished at any time found desirable, irres ective asto whether the bricks within t ecarrier are supported in mid air orwhether the device with the bricks in it have been placed upon theground.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that the device canbe readily and quickly adjusted to either increase or decrease thecarrying capacity and is one by which the bricks may be readily andquickly picked up and carried from place to place.

What I claim is 1. A brick carrier comprising an elongated adjustableframe member, a pair of clamping jaws mounted one at each end of saidadjustable frame member and disposed at right angles thereto, an armintegral with and extending in at right angles to each clamping jawmember and adapted to overlie said frame member, a hinge mounted on eachinwardly extending arm and adjustable longitudinally thereof, a'handle,and a link pivotally connected to each hinge member and to the oppositeends of said handle.

2. A brick carrier comprising an elongated adjustable frame member, apair of clamping jaws mounted one at each end of said frame member anddisposed at right angles thereto, an arm integral with and projectinginwardly from each clampin' 'jaw and adapted to normally overlie saielongated frame member, a handle, links pivotally connected to theopposite ends of said handle and adjustably connected to said inwardlyextending arms, a finger ring having a shank removably disposed throughsaid elongated frame member and disposed beneath said handle whereby thefinger ring may be grasped with one finger with the same hand that isused to grasp the-handle to actuate said clamping jaws, and means forclamping said linger ring and the intermediate portion of said framemember t0- gether.

3. A brick carrier comprising a pair of superimposed elongated bars,each provided longitudinally with a series of registering apertures, aclamping bolt disposed through both of said bars adjacent the inner endof each bar, a linger ring having a shank removably disposed throughsaid bars intermedi ate said clamp-bolts and serving to hold thatportion of the bars together, a jaw pivotally mounted on the outer endof each bar, a handle, and a link connecting each jaw with said handle.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of' two subscribing witnesses. j
